Not since Millie Vanillie has there been such phoniness in show biz. That doesn’t count the hundreds of celeb photos pasted on photos of nude bodies of others. It can be hard to believe there’s any truth to what is told about celebrities at all. One rumor mill to the next is whispering half-truths about who’s gay and who’s not and who’s playing around on his fiancée with the nanny. It’s enough to make you stop (or start) reading the tabloids. Even the so-called reality shows are nothing but pretending to be real life.

San Francisco, a leader in cross dressing and transgendering says it all with the long running Beach Blanket Babylon at Club Fugazi. After 30 years, the longest running cabaret in the country still has the last laugh with boys being girls and….boys being girls. This is the real thing in celebrity fake. Portraying a celebrity, male or female, can be lucrative under the right circumstances.

Not gone completely is the celebrity beard. No, not the hair on his face. The type of beard who pretends to be a love interest, only to hide the sexuality of a celebrity. After all this time, some celebs still feel it will hurt their popularity if the truth comes out. Hence, they play it as something it’s not, like the handsome Rock Hudson playing at being a ladies’ man. Who cares anyway? Many celebrities have found that the truth has indeed set them free.

One of the biggest areas in the celebrity faux category is still bustlines. Men have taken an interest now for themselves, by working on enlarging their pecs. If a workout doesn’t fit in their tight schedules, then surgery to plump up those chest muscles will. The incredible hulkiness of male celebs around the world can pop shirt buttons with the merely a flex.
